Intel Kokoro TTS Model Staging

This folder is the provider-local staging area for the Intel Kokoro TTS benchmark.

Runtime layout:

  • config.json is staged on first run from mweinbach1/ai-pc-benchmarks-tts-intel-openvino, with hexgrad/Kokoro-82M as fallback.
  • kokoro-v1_0.pth is staged on first run from mweinbach1/ai-pc-benchmarks-tts-intel-openvino, with hexgrad/Kokoro-82M as fallback.
  • voices/ is populated lazily on first run from mweinbach1/ai-pc-benchmarks-tts-intel-openvino, with upstream fallback for requested voice files such as af_heart.pt.
  • npu_static/ may hold provider-local OpenVINO exports when the benchmark is run with --compiled-model-dir workloads\TTS\Intel\model.

The checked-in provider contract intentionally keeps this folder lightweight. The benchmark materializes the real model payloads here so subsequent runs stay provider-local and can run offline after staging.

These files hold source payloads and optional OpenVINO IRs, not machine-specific compiled binaries. OpenVINO still compiles for the active Intel device locally at runtime, and any generated compiler cache stays machine-local.
